Paying out by Dwolla doesn't seem to be working.  No transaction shows up and no amount is deducted from my confirmed BTC balance.

It's cold, I'll probably keep my 2x 5850s running for a little bit longer.

I'm going to sell my Single in a couple weeks, someone else can trade it in towards a Single SC  Grin and I'll buy a little single or jalapeno

Re: How To: Fix Rattling Fan Noise on BFL Single

I just noticed mine was rattling today... perhaps the fan started making noise at a similar time for all of us   Grin

Also I believe somewhere the BFL guy said that it was ok to work on the fans as long as your were careful (ie not voiding warranty).

My best guess is that trade in policy will only be unit for unit within a product category.
Meaning you can only trade in 1 "old" single for 1 "new" single, 1 "old" minirig for 1 "new" minirig. And jalapenos will be sold without any trade ins. This way they will still be getting $$$ flow with every sale or trade in. Mark my words Smiley

Something interesting to consider.  I'll hold off purchasing another single until the trade-in in is clarified.

I *really* like your pool features, this down time is killing me though...  I would rather have a mandatory 1 or even 3% fee for better uptime...

2x 5850 and a BFL Single = 1.6Gh/s

The original plan was to have the two 5850s stacked on top of each other using 50mm motherboard spacers, like the icarus boards were done, but it turns out two of the PCIe slots (one is actually UIO or something) on the motherboard are meant to be used with a proprietary riser, which I don't have.  The BIOS/OS freaks out about IRQ assignment if I plug a card in either of them.  So... I had to put one GPU on the other side :/

The server is used for game hosting and general messing with, I figured why not bitcoin mine on it too  Grin  I took a CPU and its RAM out while trying to figure out the PCIe slot problems, but I'll probably put them back in a few days...

With that trade-in offer I suspect that this thing will be *very* expensive, although I hope they can do something along the lines of the singles vs. mini-rig for a product lineup.

Of course all the little guys like me can just sell their singles to the highest bidder (for them to trade in)  Grin

I have a rev3 with the extra fan on the bottom (some don't have this?).

Using the diagnostic feature, the default firmware averages something like 844Mh/s while the 862Mh/s firmware averages 880Mh/s indicated, it is closer to the 832 and 862 advertised values in the non-ideal situation of actual mining.  Ambient temp is 74F (~23C) measured with an IR temp gun.  No throttling detected and a max temp of something like 53C for the single.  I will check power consumption in a bit when I move it to my mining rig.

cgminer 2.4.1 shows an average around 30Mh/s improvement, but I haven't let it run long enough to get a good average reading.

You'll want to make sure to grab an i7 with at least 32GB of ram

And make sure the RAM is ECC; that's essential.
Not only that, but you need a linear power supply for stability, and dual hex cores for speed.

I have a mining rig that has two hex-core Opterons w/ 12GB of ECC RAM and RAID Grin

4x PCIe slots, unfortunately I can only really use two of them... but mining on it is sort of its secondary purpose.

It's interesting though, in removing a CPU (and its RAM) it shaves only about 35W off of the idle power.

I need to post pics sometime, I have it in a 1U case with the GPUs sitting next to it on 50mm risers.  It's quite ridiculous  Grin

Fire Alarms?
by

on 03/04/2012, 19:32:56 UTC
With the sometimes questionable construction of mining rigs and running lots of GPUs with lots of power in tight spaces, I wonder if having a fire alarm directly over the setup would be a good idea.

What smoke/fire alarms would be good for electrical fires?  I have this nagging suspicion that the $5 ones at wal-mart aren't the best.  Grin
 
Maybe even have it rigged so if there's smoke the power is automatically cut...

Has anyone bought it, or even tried to contact the guy?

I might try to, but only if others aren't actively pursuing it.  I don't know enough about paypal to understand if buying this might lead to an account shutdown (even if the software was purely bought in the interest of shutting it down)...

I'm a new-ish person to bitcoin, in that I haven't been actually mining for long...

I noticed a server I built happens to have four PCIe slots... and well they aren't being used, and it's not like the CPU is used much for bitcoin.  So... I have a server than also happens to mine Smiley

This sounds like a school project  Grin

I don't think it would take much effort to do the whole thing yourself, as said by others, just look at the BMP spec to get what headers you need and just output the image to file.

I'm tempted to try this myself now just for personal interest...

Re: I just sent myself some BTC from Mt. Gox. How long until it shows up?

When did you install the Bitcoin client? Do you see a "tick" (green OK icon) at the bottom right corner of the program?
If you don't, then you haven't finished downloading the blockchain. You must wait until it's completed 100%.

Thanks!  I dont see the green check yet..  it's rotating yellow circle!  How long does it take to fully download?

It can take a day or 2.  If you have one of the newer clients, click on the client, hover your mouse icon over the circle, and it should tell you how far along you are.

It's about 1.5GB now to download, usually limited by your internet connection in my experience.

What's your reject rate?  It might show that there's a hardware problem (PSU or GPU probably).
